When the woman he loves is killed, Joseph Amaru's peaceful family life is torn apart and a tsunami of rage rises in the former Ugandan child soldier. Fuelled by grief, his need to avenge her death brings to the surface long-forgotten skills. As he wages a personal war to rip apart the two powerful mafia families responsible for his loss, they never suspect the threat is coming from an unassuming African immigrant selling fake designer bags from a pavement in Naples, Italy. But the cost of his actions may be more than the deaths of Clan members; will the boy forced to become a soldier manage to save himself and his soul?
